The Integrated Sleep Private Coaching

TALK TO HEIDI

Personal. Unhurried. Built entirely around your family.

An Integrated Approach to Baby and Toddler Sleep.

Some sleep situations need more than a course and a plan. They need someone who takes the time to understand the whole picture — how this child came into your life, what the nights have really been like, and what your family actually needs right now.


That's where we begin.


Six sessions. Two parents welcome.
One plan — made for you.

Our work together moves through 5 integrated levels — because lasting change doesn't come from information alone.

Our six sessions move through five integrated levels — not as a curriculum, but as a conversation that keeps deepening. Tailored entirely to your family, your child, your situation in all its complexity. I'll be with you every step of the way — building your understanding, your confidence, and a plan that actually fits your life.

So you don‘t just learn, you understand, feel, and know how to act.

Understanding

The “why” behind your child’s sleep. You’ll learn what’s really going on – based on biology, development, and how sleep actually works. No guesswork, no myths.

Emotional

The emotional side of sleep, development, and early parenthood. Understanding your child’s emotional needs – and your own – creates a foundation of trust and connection.

Body & Regulation

Practical body-based tools to help you stay regulated – so you can co-regulate your child. Calm doesn’t start with a technique. It starts with you.

Perspective

The bigger picture. Stepping back to see your family’s sleep within the context of development, growth, and real life – so you can trust the process.

Practical Steps

Clear, doable guidance for your specific situation. What to do, when, and how – grounded in everything you’ve understood, felt, and experienced.

What's included

  • 6 sessions of 75–90 minutes, all via Zoom
  • WhatsApp support Monday–Friday, once daily between sessions
  • A written recap after every session — so nothing gets lost
  • Your personalised Foundation Phase plan after session 3
  • A full individual written summary at the close of session 6
  • A proper offboarding — not just a final call, but a real ending

    • This is for you if:

    You've tried things. You've read things. Maybe you've had advice that didn't sit right, or that simply didn't work for your child. Your situation feels layered — like there's more going on than just a sleep problem. And you're ready for someone to look at the whole picture with you.
    Both of you, ideally. Because this is a team effort — and I want both parents in the room from the very beginning.

    How we work together

    The Foundation Phase

    The first three sessions are where we build the full picture. We start with your story — how this child came to you, pregnancy, birth, postpartum, and what the days and nights actually look like right now. Nothing is background information. Everything matters.
    From there we move into understanding — your child's biology, what their system naturally needs — and then into the practical: the sleep environment, the evening ritual, the rhythm of naps and feeding, how you settle your child, and how you two are supporting each other through all of it. After session three you'll have a personalised Foundation Phase plan in your hands, and the gentle work of letting new rhythms settle in begins.

    The Integration Phase

    Sessions four through six build on what's been established. We look honestly at what's feeling natural and what's still sticky. We go deeper — into sleep associations, loving limits, the subtle layers the first phase opened up. The final ten days are more intentional, more focused. And session six is a proper ending — a full written summary, from where you started to where you are now, and a clear sense of how to come back to solid ground if things wobble later.

    Ready to find out if this is the right fit?

    The introductory call is 40 minutes, completely free, and there's no pressure to commit. It's a chance for both of us to get a sense of whether working together makes sense — and what that might look like for your family.

    Let's get you well-rested.

    What you‘ll learn

    Clarity

    A plan that's yours — not a method lifted from a book. Together we build a foundation designed around your child, your family, and your real life.
    We adjust as we go, because real life never follows a script.

    Trust & Ease

    Someone in your corner. You're not figuring this out alone anymore.
    Between sessions, WhatsApp keeps us connected.
    After every call, a written recap lands in your inbox.

    Lasting Change

    A foundation that grows with your child. What we build together doesn't expire.
    It carries you through regressions, transitions, and new stages — long after our work is done.

    FAQ

    How long is six sessions, calendar-wise?

    About six weeks, typically. We pace the work so it has room to breathe — one session per week, with your personalised Foundation Phase plan arriving after session three and the Integration Phase opening up after session five. Six weeks isn't arbitrary. It's the time most families actually need for change to settle in, not just to start.

    Babies and toddlers from birth through three years. Each age brings its own version of what sleep looks like — a newborn is different from a six-month-old, a six-month-old different from a two-year-old. The five integrated levels work across all of them; the specifics shift with your child's stage.

    Both are very welcome and I encourage it whenever possible. Sleep work that lasts is almost always a team effort, and decisions land differently when both of you are part of building them. If one parent can't make a particular session, that's fine — the written recap covers it. But the foundational work, especially the first session, is much stronger with both of you in the room.

    All of it can stay, change, or evolve — that's your decision, not mine. I work with the family setup you actually have, not one I think you should have. We talk through what's working, what isn't, and what fits your family's values. Some families end up keeping co-sleeping and changing only how falling asleep works. Others find their child is ready for their own bed sooner than they expected. Both are right, depending on the child and the family.

    No. The whole approach is built on accompaniment — your child is never alone with their feelings. Babies and toddlers do sometimes cry, and we don't pretend otherwise, but the work is about you staying calm and present with them, not about getting them to stop. That's the difference between sleep training and what we do here.

    So-called "sleep regressions", teething, illness, holidays, new siblings — none of that detracts from your work together. They're part of the picture from the beginning. What you'll have is an understanding of what's actually happening underneath, plus the tools to come back to ground without panic. After our work ends, you'll have your full written summary in your hands. When something wobbles, you'll know exactly where to look.

    About me

    I'm Heidi — Austrian-American, pediatric nurse, lactation consultant (IBCLC since 2009), and sleep consultant.

    For more than a decade I worked in pediatric nursing and family consulting, including seven years on the integrated postpartum ward in Hallein.

    For the past eight years I've worked internationally as a maternity nurse and nanny in private households, accompanying families from birth through the early years.

    I know what 3am feels like — the quiet, the responsibility, the deep tiredness, the need to stay steady when you still have to function the next day. That's the work I've built my approach around.

    “Heidi has made all the difference during my initiation to fatherhood. Every time my wife and I are on the brink of uncertainty, Heidi is the first person we reach out to. She always takes time to listen, reassure us, and provide great options based on her amazing knowledge and lifetime of experience. With all the conflicting information and different approaches out there, it can be very difficult for new parents to untangle it all. Heidi has been exceptional in helping us find the right path in our new family’s journey.”

In those first few days at home we were feeling very vulnerable, and her expertise and kindness was just what we needed. It is obvious that she has a deep-rooted love and interest for babies and their upbringing. We felt safe to ask all the stupid questions.”

And that’s exactly what helped — she gave me back the view of the bigger picture that I had lost. I was stuck in my own hamster wheel and had forgotten to stop and just breathe. Of course children sense when their mother is stressed or overwhelmed, and they mirror it back. The change in my little one was simply wonderful — from daily crying and tears to a smile. Heidi gave me a new perspective that I can use not just with my family, but in many situations in life.”

    “Heidi simply managed, with her incredibly positive nature and her broad knowledge, to help our daughter sleep through the night — and nap for 1–2 hours during the day again. We all feel so much better. She also supported us with weaning, which we probably never would have managed so well on our own. We can warmly recommend Heidi to any family.”
